(aws-eks): Tag Update in EKS-based Stack triggers "Version and ReleaseVersion updates cannot be combined with other updates"

See original GitHub issue

Hello guys,

We have a CDK Stack that, among others, it bundles together the creation of an EKS Cluster with an EKS Managed NodeGroup. For cost/analytic purposes we have some mandatory tags being applied to all the resources of a Stack. If a Tag is being added/changed/removed, the change is propagated in the CDK tree to all the resources as you can see below.

Basically the only change is one of the Tag’s values which is applied to all the resources, but we are interested in particular about the AWS::EKS::NodeGroup and AWS::EC2::LaunchTemplate as the Stack update fails with the following error:

AwsrefeksStack-ephemeral-tauta: creating CloudFormation changeset...

Version and ReleaseVersion updates cannot be combined with other updates

Did someone else face this issue before and might be able to advise? Thank you a lot!
